Office requirements for passwords

CORPORATE DIRECTIVE NUMBER 88-570471

In order to increase the security of all company computing
facilities, and to avoid the possibility of unauthorized use of
these facilities, new rules are being put into effect concerning
the selection of passwords. All users of computing facilities are
instructed to change their passwords to conform to these rules
immediately.

RULES FOR THE SELECTION OF PASSWORDS:

A password must be at least six characters long, and must not
contain two occurrences of a character in a row, or a sequence
of two or more characters from the alphabet in forward or
reverse order.

Example: HGQQXP is an invalid password. GFEDCB is an invalid
password.

A password may not contain two or more letters in the same
position as any previous password. Example: If a previous
password was GKPWTZ, then NRPWHS would be invalid because PW
occurs in the same position in both passwords.

A password may not contain the name of a month or an
abbreviation for a month. Example: MARCHBC is an invalid
password. VWMARBC is an invalid password.

A password may not contain the numeric representation of a
month. Therefore, a password containing any number except zero
is invalid.
Example: WKBH3LG is invalid because it contains the numeric
representation for the month of March.

A password may not contain any words from any language. Thus,
a password may not contain the letters A, or I, or sequences
such as AT, ME, or TO because these are all words.

A password may not contain sequences of two or more characters
which are adjacent to each other on a keyboard in a
horizontal, vertical, or diagonal direction. Example: QWERTY
is an invalid password. GHNLWT is an invalid password because
G and H are horizontally adjacent to each other. HUKWVM is
an invalid password because H and U are diagonally adjacent
to each other.

A password may not contain the name of a person, place, or
thing.
Example: JOHNBOY is an invalid password.

Because of the complexity of the password selection rules,
there is actually only one password which passes all the
tests. To make the selection of this password simpler for the
user, it will be distributed to all supervisors. All users
are instructed to obtain this password from his or her
supervisor and begin using it immediately.

About JokeTribe

These all are jokes that we've had the good fortune of having other people
email to us or we've retrieved off the Internet. Over time, we've sent them on
to the subscribers of our various jokes lists.
Since we're talking some ten years of managing these emails lists, we've built
up a pretty sizeable (and FUNNY) collection of jokes. They cover pretty much
any category and topic that you can imagine; from clean jokes to dirty jokes
and most everything in between, including the much loved lawyer jokes and the
blonde jokes and the yo mama jokes as well as those redneck jokes.
Remember, we did NOT author them, but we did take the time to convert the text
files to html.

If you are certain of the authorship of any of these,
email us the author's name
along with relevant information on how we can verify that they truly are the
author so we can give them the credit that they deserve.
